GYMNOPTERIS. 
GYMNOPTERIS FEEL (Moore) The plate represents some curious abnormal fertile fronds of Gymnopteris Feet, they ara 
not uncommon in the large shola at Kodinkarnel on the Pulney mountains and are found growing from the same caudex with the usual 
sterile and fertile fronds. I have never met with any thing like them elesewhere, though I have searched very carefully in many locali- - 
ties. Mr. Fairbank of the American Mission first drew my attention to them, I have thought them well worth figuring in this work ás 
they might be taken for some new species of Loxogramma if they got into Herbaria apart from the normal form. |
